We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've grown up in this school thanks to my dad being a gym teacher and soccer and basketball coach. It's a place like no other. The diversity among backgrounds, academics, and passions is like no other in the area. The entire staff makes you feel welcome and supports you in anything throughout your career there. It's a tremendous environment to not just survive, but thrive.

It has been a great experience. We are required to take multiple Project Lead The Way classes that prepare us well for using our problem solving skills

WEPA is really good at preparing you for a STEM future and being detail-oriented. However, the administration has poor communication about class offerings before the school year that classes are offered and the program lacks diversity. If you're willing to deal with all that, it's a challenging but engaging program.
